Am I going mad, people thinking "it's getting stupid" that somebody is about to fly a commercial flight intoxicated/over the legal limit??
If he is blowing over the limit around mid day, he MUST of had a skin full the night before or finished drinking in the very early hours.
This is NOT "getting stupid". The only stupid thing about this is the Captains actions!!!!!!
The rules and limits are there for a bloody good reason!!
Personally I won't touch a drop poison 12 hours before reporting for duty. Thats a good rule of thumb.
Happy sober flying
